As far as fixtures go I have a SLS Tek5 that I'm happy with but the Aquactinics and ATI fixtures look nice, they are pricey too. If you're looking for a retro system you can't beat the Ice Cap reflectors and ballast. TheReefStop has really good pricing on the Tek fixtures.

My current bulb setup is:
Giesemann Actinic+
Giesemann Aquablue+
UVL AquaSun
Giesemann Aquablue+
Giesemann Aquablue+
Giesemann Actinic+

I didn't like the AquaSun when I first got it but it has grown on me and it really makes the color of the Superman monti I got from DrBDC pop. It also makes purples and other reds pop too. I may replace a Aquablue+ with a Blue+ to try to get some more blue spectrum.

I have 2 x 39W ATI Blue Plus and 4 x 39W ATI Aquablues on SLS Retrofits with SLS reflectors and Triad ballasts.
